Seuss Day wasn't only an opportunity for our Lower School Hornets to fill the hallways with every Seuss costume imaginable--it also posed a special challenge for our Lower School – an iPad movie challenge! Each class was asked to write, direct and star in their very own “Seuss” inspired movie as a way to interpret their favorite author's work and apply their recently learned iPad skills to a team project. The votes are in and while there are prizes to be had for all, the overall winner of the Lower School iPad challenge is Mrs. Mansel’s fifth-grade class and their fabulous time machine!
